The -Pacific Amateur Association heild its regular monthly meeting last night, at which many points of intm‘«" est to athletes were taken up and dis- cussed. It was decided by the commit- | tee to offer a trophy for the best bas- ket ball team in the newly organized league, consisting of ten or twelve crack clubs. Basket ball has become very popu- lar with the amateur athletes lately and in order to promote interest in the game the association has decided to offer the trophy. Teams represent- ing many K of the most prominent | ichools, colleges and clubs about the bay have entéred and will make a hot fight for the coveted prize. it was decided to make preparations for a California exhibit at the St. Louis exposition and steps will be taken in that line immediately. The Bisbee tion and R. C. Woods of Columbia College, a former University of Cali- | fornia student, was appointed to rep- resent the association in New York. Alexander Pape, the crack sculler, notified Chairman Hinchman of the | association that he would be unable | to meet Fred Ayres in the proposed match race. The race was thereupon declared off and the contest for hon- ore in the sculling game will not be settled for a while. ————————— SAN DIEGO, Dec. 11.—The annual banquet of the Chamber of Commerce was held this evening.

The or- dinance provides that cars running on | spur tracks must be unloaded inside the warehouses, and not on the street, and makes it unlawful to operate a car on a sour track between 6 a. m. and 6 p. m. on any day. The ordinance was submitted by George Renner, manager of the Dray- men’s Association, who submitted a draft of the ordinance after telling of the abuses to which spur track privi- leges have been subjected, causing| traffic to be impeded and often result- ing in death to valuable horses. P. C. Rossi of the Italian-Swiss Col- ony objected to the ordinance, claim- ing that it would be a hardship on those warehouses into which the spur tracks do not run. Rossi said it would be absolutely necessary to unload the cars outside the warehouses. D. J. Guggenheim sajd if a condition were imnesed that cars should be un- loaded in the warehouses it would ren- der useless 99 per cent of the spur tracks now in use. He argued that many of the warehouses were not'con- be increased such a requirement were adopted. The committee post- poned action on the matter until next | it 1 1 A% | /7L AL{‘WHMIWHB { | | MOCH WORK FOR INSPECTOR Commissioners of Works Ask| School Board to R«-(-ollsidor; Action Dismissing MeSheehy | l The Board of Public Works yeslerday!} sent a caustic letter to the Board of | Education in which it states that it does not deem the dismissal by the last | named board of James B. McSheehy, | inspector of school buildings, advisable | nor to the best interests of the city. | The Board of Works holds -that the | censtant inspection of school buildings, | many of which are in urgent need of | repair, and a thorough knowledge of | their condition is equally as important / as the superintendence and supervision | of the mechanics employed. | For the foregoing reasons the Board | of Works recommends that the Board ! of Education reconsider its action in regard to the inspector of school build- — ings. The letter continues: " ! The Boai lic Works respectfully! ac- knowledges the receipt of your communications of the 2d and 9th insts., in which you fnform | this board that jces of James B. Me- | Sheehy, inspector of school buildings, were no longer 'required, and that his ealary demand would not be approved for services rendered af- | ter December 2, 1008, i The Board of Public Works respectfully calls | the attention of your honorable body to subdi vision 6, section 8, chapter 1. article G 0% charter, ‘which provides that the Board of lic Works shall have charge, superintendence | and control of the censtruction of any and all | public buildings and etructures, and the repair apd maintcrance of any and all buildings and | structures bwned by the city and county. Inasmuch as e are seventy-five school | buildings in this ci over which this board ex- ercises control, and for the repair and main- tenance of which it is responsibie, it seems but reagonable that it hould require the services of | an inspector whoss gole duty is the proper in. | spectiun of the condition of all school bufldin and the superintendence of all mechdnics em- ployed. A s B Refuses to Issuc Permit. The Board of Public Works yes- terday informed the Board of Super- visors that it would refuse to issue a | permit for the construction by John Garber of runways of basalt blocks on Sansome street, between Vallejoi and Green. The Board of Works does not consider that it ig within its province to grant the privilege and says it would prefer that the Super- visors pass a resolution authorizing the construction of the runways. —_—— i Milk Below Standard.

Considering Barthels and covering certain articles of wear for the Lowell High School football team. Baehr thinks that this is preliminary to the equipping of the | Polytechnic High School and Mission | High School football teams by the | board. } | Barthels is a pupil in the school “ named and is captain of the football | team. Baehr was somewhat surprised | that a demand shculd be made out in favor of the pupil named, and on in- | vestigation found that the firm name | on the bill for the supplies had been | cut from the bill and in that shape | it had been pasted on the official de-i’ mand. | Upon further inquiry Baehr learned | that the football supplies had been | bought, from Gantner & Mattern by | Barthels and the demand was then made out in favor of the last named. | The bil was approved by Directors | Woodward, Mark and Roncovieri and specified the following articles as hav- ing been furnished to the team: September 11—6 padded Jerseys at § 10 pairs pants at $3 50, 0 10 pairs hose at $1....... 10 00 September 4—4# padded Jerseys at §275. 11 %0 October 1—1 pair football shoes. Total No sooner had the bill been sent from the Board of Education than Barthels appeared at the Auditor’s office for the purpose of securing it and having it cashed * at the city treasury. When questioned - by . the Auditor’s deputies Barthels said that he had ordered the goods upon the direction of Directors Mark and Roncovierl. Mark is chair- man of the High School Committee, and as such supervises the expenditures of the high schools, while Roncovieri is chairman of the Supplies Committee and has similar but more comprehen- sive powers.
